Onyx Development Case Study: Quick 3D Renderings with No CAD Files

The Task:

Develop a site map and community street view 3D rendering for an investor presentation over an extended weekend.

The Solution:

Provided only with a reference photo, 3DAS created a street view 3D rendering and an initial site map of the Onyx / Polly Avenue project within 4 days.

The Outcome:

According to the client, the Onyx / Polly Avenue project was “funded and should be starting construction later this year.”

The Process of Developing the Onyx Community

How did 3DAS develop quick 3D renderings without CAD files? The plan initially was for single family homes as seen in the reference photo and version 1 screenshot that was taken in the 3D program (3ds Max). Client then decided to make the project into 8-plex town homes seen in version 2. Version 3 and 4 were all about adding vegetation, realistic lighting/textures and the evening mood the client wanted to portray during their presentation.
